New sitescheme

squeaky

With 52.4% of the vote. Worksafe (sidebar) is the defacto winner and is now the default scheme on InsaneJournal. This really brings IJ into the future. In addition we have removed access to most of the older schemes. We have left 'New Tweak' for those of you who liked the previous scheme, and 'Lynx' for you who prefer the lightweight schemes.

We are also working hard on a new way to display the ads so they will no longer be a hindrance to the site schemes. We hope to have this rolled out by the weekend.

Once agian, I want to send a warm round of applause to the ij_siteschemes crew and branchandroot for all of their help in getting these new schemes up and running!

Edit: We pushed out some new stylesheets. This should help some of you with the font size issues.

  i don't think the new scheme does a really good job of detecting the font, because on the old layout my font in my userinfo was normal, and on the new one it's gigantic... see here..

      yeah, i'm planning on changing it to the old layout until it gets fixed. i don't mind the sidebar or anything, but the font is just way too big.

        I so thought that was just me because I'm using IE right now instead of Firefox, and I've been trying to figure out what I did to make the fonts randomly huge. I hope it gets fixed, but the ad problem comes first for me.

          I'm having this problem, too, despite everyone telling me the new themes will show up in my normal default settings. It's not just you.

    I have a similar issue. In the new scheme, worksafe sidebar, the font size for the links is okay, but the size for the text in the middle is just too big. If I adjust it so the text is right, the links are too small.
    
    As America ages, this is going to be a bigger problem.
